as a gun dealer the Weatherby Mark 5 sells better used than a Howa Weatherby , but people buying new I sell way more Howa Weatherby rifles because most want to say they can`t afford a Mark 5 but want a Weatherby so they buy the cheaper Howa action so they can say they got a Weatherby rifle. I personally just glad they buy one of them. myself for deer hunting I just use my Ruger no.1 in a 257 weatherby mag, Roy Weatherby did design neat bolt rifles and cartridges ,Roy was way ahead of many rifle builders with those fast cartridges !
When you say Howa weatherby are you referring to the 2 lug Howa or the 9 lug Mark V?
